Written from a feminist perspective, each of these books provides insight and analysis into issues that are informed by 9/11:
The Curious Feminist: Searching for Women in a New Age of Empire by Cynthia Enloe (anything by Enloe is well worth reading - she is the scholar to go to on all issues relating to women in the military...love her!)
The Terror Dream: Fear and Fantasy in Post 9/11 America by Susan Faludi
Precarious Life: The Power of Mourning and Violence by Judith Butler

About Me
First they came for the Communists, and I didn't speak up, because I wasn't a Communist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I didn't speak up, because I wasn't a Jew.
Then they came for the Catholics, and I didn't speak up, because I was a Protestant.
Then they came for me, and by that time there was no one left to speak up for me.
Some of my most favorite quotes

I pledge allegiance to the Earth, and to the flora, fauna, and human life that it supports; one planet, indivisible, with safe air, water and soil, economic justice, equal rights and peace for all. ~Bella Abzug
The feminist agenda is not about equal rights for women. It is about a socialist, anti-family political movement that encourages women to leave their husbands, kill their children, practice witchcraft, destroy capitalism, and become lesbians. ~Pat Robertson, fundraising letter
